Hey guys,
Always wanted to try out a type as ive had most hot hatchs, 182, cooper s works, vts, s2000 etc
just though i'd put up a little post now i've finally took some pictures. Nothing special bought as a standard milano CTR, now fitted with BC racing coilovers and buddyclub camber arms plus setup also fitted with spoon N1 and magnex b pipe, hondata airbox mod with itg drop in filter.
future plans
AEM CAI
2.5" b pipe
second set of alloys i have refurbed in anthracite
current set refurbed in iluminus yellow for track wheels
clockwise motion baffled sump
clockwise TB and RBC
DC sport/piper manifold
K-pro
Cosworth cams
D2 LCA's in crimson red
crimson red rocker cover
stoptech discs (braided lines and red stuff pads fitted)
Generally want to focus it towards track but keep it looking very clean and tidy aswell which should be a challenge as everyone knows, milano tends to fade.
anyway few pictures, let me know what you think








Oh and i didn't buy it for torque, the mini had that

looks clean, but surely the mini would have been better in every aspect?

This was less than half the price though and certainly doesnt drive any worse. just needs a LSD

Ah fair point
Id only have one of these if it was turbo'd they're mental and from what I read, it isn't as much doing as you'd think.
well the b16 engines anyway

You do know, stopping in a box junction is illegal 

Nice car 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I could only have one of these if it was running big power..Everyone seems to say that Turboing them is better than the superchager route..i'd like one with a supercharger 
I was not impressed by the power when i drove one Pretty much everything else was spot on though.Love the gearshift.
